Friday the 13th of May

Hey guys,

Anyone going down to the PD13 run this Friday? I'll more than likely be heading down and just wanted to know if there'd be any more of the cult down there .

M

 

Yup - at least 2 of us XJ folk coming from London - myself & Dennis on his X (he's not on the board). Might be riding down with some of the CAV guys too - can't miss us - our back patch looks like my avatar.

I think it's almost tradition now for XJ folks to try and meet up at Timmies for high Noon. If so I'll be specific -- lets meet at Noon, at the base of the Tim's sign by the entrance off Walker St / Hwy 6 -- how's that?

 

I'll try my best!

Never been down so I don't know what to expect really, except for a lot of bikes . If a route takes me past a Tim Horton's I'll keep my eyes peeled!

I may be going solo or later if i can't get my buddy's shadow charging system sorted out before then... If Not I'll Aim to be there at 12PM as suggested, anyone else? only one this year

 

Head'n down, leav'n about about 8:30ish, plan to head out of dover shortly after noonish, but will keep an eye peeled around the timmies =0)

 

Same here stamp. I'll probably be going back solo to hopefully meet some of you fine fellers

 

Just back, nice ride but holy I found it a little stuffy for poor maxine .

Here's a few pics of some XJ's that I saw, there was a nice red 650 that showed up after my battery died (back rest and all!):

Altus???


who dis?


flowers!




Yours truly


Here's the link to the rest of the pictures in case someone wants to to take a look -- PD13, May 13, 2011

 

good photos, thanks for that. ken

 

Ahh you missed mine =( as parked out front of gas station just down from Timmies. Good shots, hopefully get mine unloaded shortly

 

No exhaust, and had to work kept me away

 

Got lucky with the group that I went down with, we just parked on top of the hill in a parking lot across the river... Believe I saw a Seca there as well, but was on bike and couldn't just shoot haha. Sorry to have missed your bike Stamp, did you notice any others??? My buddy was all bummed out that there was only one other Bonneville there . I did see an old commando there as well, right hand shift and all!

 

Well I didn't go my bike won't be ready for another couple weeks then safety and insurance and on the road. So I sat in my drive way and watched and waved at the bikes go by. MaximX stopped in for a visit this year. He brought me two cans of Kroil. Thanks greatly MaximX. Of course "killer" my Shepard/rottie cross tried to eat him :evil: when the wife tried to take her in the house. We are reallllly sorry about that MaximX. Shes 114 pounds of stay away from my master mean :twisted: . The reason we have her is that there has been a number of home invasions in area over the last couple of years and we like to think of her as a little bit of extra insurance. Problem is she only listens to me. :?
The wife and I are thinking of having a BBQ next year in the afternoon of Friday the 13th in July. Of course everyone is welcome and we do not live to far from PD. We are on the Front Road portion of the north shore bike route. So if anyone is interested in a social get together then let us know.
We will post this invitation again next year starting in June to get an idea as to numbers. We have room to park bikes.

PS killer aka "Roxy" will be locked in the basement so just don't go there. If you do I get to keep your bike! :twisted: If you live you wont be able to ride EVER again. :cry:

 

went last august...

it was an overnight trip for me then and then i havent got an XJ thats running right now...

ive been working a lot so i can take more time off this summer to ride so this was another one of those work now, play later days...

i certainly had a great time last year though...

 

Actually if anyone comes down for Friday the 13 next July and needs a spot to pitch a tent we have a realllly big yard and could fit a few in no problem!!

 

Yes - the 2nd pic "who dis?" is mine Ya caught me - I got a pretty good parking space this year. I added the windshield to make the highway klicks nicer, and the trunk to I had a place for all the stuff you pick up at PD13 (and somewhere to store my jacket/chaps/boots while walking around).

Oh and the 3rd pic "flowers!" - that's Queen Jo's bike (those that have been on the XJ mailing list will know who I'm talking about). Queen Jo - the Queen of Everything. Did you like the pirate chest as the tail trunk?
